Optimization of the search for three jet resonances in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV

An analysis of the search for stealth supersymmetry (SUSY) in three b jet decay and minimal missing E$_T$ signatures is presented. Data from proton-proton collisions produced at the LHC and collected with the CMS detector during the 2012 run is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.4 $fb^{-1}$. Though the search is model independent, optimization is performed assuming sbottom pair production decaying to three b jets and missing E$_{T}$ with an intermediary stealth particle. Given the high multiplicity of b jets in the final state, examining signal significance for different numbers of b tags per event can yield a more efficient selection. Preliminary results are shown assuming this stealth SUSY scenario.
